DAKOTA NEWSPAPERS.
Opinions Upon Current Topics Edi-
torially Expressed by Terri
toriai Sorioes.

Mitchell Republican: 1t is not
putting the case at all too
strongly to say that Dakota to-day offers
a better field Tor real estate Investments
than any other LOCALITY in the west. Her
Soil has demonstrated it's wealth produo
ing qualities, her earliest transient pop
ulatlon has been replaced by men who
have come to stay, hes lands will never
be- any cheaper, while the railroads have
by their extensions in every direction
testified to their faith in her future, and
indeed, by this very enterprise nave
done much to insure that future. Now
is the time TO come to Dakota.
Aberdeen News: The Governor
Church edition of the ST. Paul,
Globe is becoming nauseating to it's
readers IN the territory. We are
friendly to the Globe for the good it has
Gone the territory in the past, but if it
is going to espouse the cause of Church
as against the people and the democratic
party, It's readers will soon become few
and sparse In numbers. 1t appears in q
different manner to the Governor Pierce
addition in the Pioneer press. We
know the governor and respect him, al
though we differ with him widely po-
AatASotiy p0p bhoco oaatSAo -
the Church edition of the Globe, the
people believe are some paid hlreiings of
Church's or the possessors of some
federal or territorial positions. II the
Globe wishes to retain the respect OF
our people and continue to be q useful
medium in building up democracy in
the territory, and a defender of the peo-
pies rights, it will drop the Church
edition at the earliest possible moment.
Alexandria Herald: General attention
has been directed towards Dakota since
1880. In the seven years IL has made the
best record OF any country on earth
Every year except last year the producer
has raised q crop so large that people,
for telling the plain u~nvarnished truth
were derisively dubbed "Dskota liars >
II seems Incredible that the country oul
boyhood's geography called. the great
American desert should aver produce
the crop it Was credited with. Finally
the incredulous were foroed to believe
Then they asserted dakota will neve,
be able to raise anything but wheat, oatl
and Hax. A man is a long way from
home when he gets where corn won
grow. Fruit trees can never stand tn,
winter" An answer to theee predIc
tons could have been found q
the lest territorial fair. Their,
was found everything eatablt
in grain or garden products. Statistic
show Dakota raised 80 100000 bushel
of corn this yeer, as fine as ever wa
husked. One exhibitor showed seventeen
varieties OF apples from q single orchard
A number showed beautiful grapes
And it is now en- acknowledged fact tina
this country produces the largest AM
fiuest small fruit grown anywhere. Th
last objection is 'cold winters" DAkot
does nothing by halves. Her winter
r are cold but it is a steady cold, com
meucing gradually about the tenth Q
December and lasting until about th
first OF February. AT which time
begins to grow gradually warmer an
spring is here without an effort. N
drizzling, chilling rain, no fog, nc We
STICKY snow, no bad roads. The recor
: OF good weather and good crops he
never been equsled by any state
territory and there are those now Twin
who will see Dakota support q popul,
ton of five million.
